BMI or Body Mass Index is a statistical calculation of a person's weight scaled according to height person. BMI is one of the parameters used to see the proportion of fatty tissue in the body and to know the nutritional status of a person. Final Project Research was conducted to establish standards for the health indicators based on the circumference of the body of the WHO health indicators - Body Mass Index (BMI) in middle-aged male workers in DKI Jakarta.
Population used in this study of 415 male workers aged 45 to 54 years. Sampling techniques used in this study is a multi-stage random sampling is divided into 5 areas in Jakarta. Variables used in this study were height, abdominal circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference and thigh circumference obtained by using a tape measure, body weight using digital scales, thick thighs
and wide hips by using anthropometry, the number of heart rate, blood pressure systolic and diastolic blood pressure by using a digital tensimeter and pulsemeter, cholesterol levels using a cholesterol check instant. The determination of body circumference standard middle-aged male
workers in DKI Jakarta obtained by calculate height and weight to the standard Body Mass Index. Body Mass Index is used as the default setting standard health indicators to circumference of the body for middle-aged male workers. Standards for body circumference underweight category obtained from the largest value of the circumference of the body that are categorized as underweight sample, body
circumference standards for overweight category obtained from the smallest
value of the loop body is classified as overweight sample and body circumference
standards for normal category obtained from samples with values between
underweight category and overweight. Based on the results of research
conducted, obtained the body circumference standards for middle-aged male
workers in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia by using the standard Body Mass Index based
on underweight and overweight categories. End this task also provides
suggestions to overcome the health problems middle-aged male workers in
Jakarta. |
